Chapter 660 Ogata vs Mermaid! Underwater Deathmatch! 【5800】
Naganosuke looked at A-Machi who inflicted a fatal wound on him without any hesitation with resentful and frightened eyes.
He felt a large amount of blood spurting out from the wound in his throat, and some blood even splashed onto Atachi's face and hair.
Even though most of his face was covered in blood, A-Machi's expression and eyes remained firm.
Hurry up and die for me - Omachi's eyes silently explained these words to Naganosuke.
The degree of loss of physical strength is directly proportional to the degree of blood loss.
In the blink of an eye, Naganosuke didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.
The vision in front of me began to become dim.
Memories of the past flashed through my mind.
He has been receiving strict ninja training since he can remember...
Because of her talent, she was nicknamed "Iga Star". In terms of talent, she is second only to that woman among the younger generation...
He is extremely talented, so he looks down on his peers and doesn't want to partner with these idiots, so he likes to be alone...
I, who was called the "star of tomorrow"... failed like this...?
And the defeat was so humiliating, even a single move cost him his life...
It shouldn't be...
As the "Star of Iga"...will I lose to a female ninja?
Impossible, how could I lose to a mere female ninja? Naganosuke wanted to roar like this, but because his throat was pierced, he can only utter unknown syllables like "ho ho ho".
.
Like a flashback, the chest rose and fell violently for a while and then stopped moving.
Naganosuke's eyes, which had lost any luster, were wide open.
Even when he stopped breathing, Naganosuke's eyes were still full of confusion and unwillingness.
His godless eyes looked at the sky, as if asking the gods in the sky: Why? Why did I lose?
…
…
"Hahaha……"
At this time, A-Machi felt like his body had been hollowed out.
This is a phenomenon that often occurs when tense nerves are released at once.
After the tense nerves relaxed, A-Ting realized that the clothes on his back were wet with her cold sweat.
Feeling that his legs were a little weak and he couldn't even stand unsteadily, Atachi pulled back the kunai that had pierced Naganosuke's throat, and then fell to the ground regardless of the dust on the ground.
"It was... so dangerous just now..." Amachi murmured while wiping the blood that had just spurted out from Naganosuke's throat and splashed on her face.
She just won very close to it.
Naganosuke is very strong - judging from the fact that he can catch up with Amachi without blushing or out of breath, his physical ability alone is far superior to Amachi's.
After knowing that it would be difficult for him to compete head-on with Naganosuke if Sozakura lost control and Hizakura could not use it, A-Machi decided to take a gamble.
Just bet this guy is an arrogant person.
Just bet that this guy underestimated her and was careless.
First, she pretended to surrender to further paralyze the guy. After the guy came closer and was within the distance that her feet could kick, she used a kunai between her toes to sneak attack on his face.
If you can kill him with one blow, that would be the best. If you can't kill him with one blow, then at least you have to blind his eyes.
After the sneak attack is successful, pick up the wakizashi on the ground or pull out the other two kunai hidden on your body to give him a finishing blow.
The above is the battle plan that Atachi urgently came up with just now after he realized that he could not confront this person head-on.
There are two major difficulties in this combat plan.
The first major difficulty is that Naganosuke must be careless and underestimate the enemy, despise Amachi, or at least not pay attention to Amachi's feet.
The second biggest difficulty was whether Atachi could let the kunai fall to her feet smoothly, and then grasp it accurately with her toes.
A-Machi has never tried this strategy of "grabbing a kunai with his toes to sneak up on the enemy" before. Whether he can successfully grab a kunai with his toes, A-Machi has no idea at all, and is completely betting on it.
A gamble” mentality.
As for kicking Naganosuke in the face, it wasn't difficult for Atachi.
Her body has the kind of constitution that is "naturally flexible". And Shiranui-ryu jujitsu happens to be her strong point.
When she and Ogata usually practice equestrian skills alternately on each other's bodies, the most common thing Ogata says to her is: Omachi, your body is so soft.
If any of the two major difficulties mentioned above are wrong, then Atachi's battle plan will end in failure.
That's why A-Ting said "It's so dangerous", and that's why the clothes on her back were wet with cold sweat.
After regaining some strength, Atachi stood up and took back her wakizashi, kunai and other weapons one by one.
While taking the weapon back, A-Machi frequently raised his eyes to look at Naganosuke's body. He thought to himself:
——This man's clothes... really look familiar... Where have I seen them before...
Just now, when he saw Naganosuke for the first time, Amachi felt that the clothes on this man were very familiar.
I always feel like I have seen clothes like this before.
But for a moment, I just couldn't remember when I had seen this outfit before.
When he took back all the wakizashi and kunai, and was about to pick up Sozakura who had been kicked far away, Atachi's beautiful eyebrows suddenly jumped.
——Yes...I remembered...!
Fragments of past memories flashed through A-Machi's mind.
She suddenly remembered - Naganosuke's clothes were quite similar in style to Ashuki's Iga kunoichi uniform.
Immediately afterwards, fragments of memories of the conquest of Shiranui last autumn flashed through A-Machi's mind.
During the conquest of Shiranui, she followed Lin, Genichi and others and encountered a group of Iga ninjas.
And the costumes of the Iga ninjas are exactly the same as the clothes worn by Naganosuke...
A-Machi pursed her lips tightly, and slowly clasped her hands that were hanging down naturally.
——Why are Iga’s ninjas here?!
While shouting like this in her heart, she quickly ran to the place where Suying fell.
After picking up Suying, he rushed towards the west with an anxious face.
This is the direction of the hotel where they currently live.
Amachi was hoping and praying in her heart.
I prayed that when I returned to the hotel, I would see a safe and sound Efang and said to her with worry: What's wrong with you? Why is there so much blood splattered on your body?
…
…
Osaka, somewhere——
After splitting Sakuma's head with a jumping slash, Ogata unleashed a violent storm of attack on the musketeer beside him.
Ogata originally thought that these musketeers did not have swords on them now. Once they started a hand-to-hand combat with them, they would be defeated without any means of resistance.
But Ogata discovered that he was wrong.
These musketeers have a very high will to fight.
When Ogata got close to him, not many people showed fear.
Those who were closer to Ogata directly lifted the flintlock gun in their hands, used it as a fire stick, and swung it towards Ogata with great force.
Those far away from Ogata, even if no one was commanding them, consciously retreated, distanced themselves from Ogata, and pointed their guns at Ogata.
The high fighting will of these people surprised Ogata, and at the same time, it also made Ogata not dare to be careless.
Ogata was not afraid of the musketeers who kept distance from him and planned to shoot him.
Their gun formation was in chaos, and Ogata was surrounded by their comrades. The musketeers who planned to shoot Ogata were afraid of shooting their comrades because they were afraid of shooting.
On the contrary, it was those who used the flintlock guns in their hands as blunt weapons, which caused a little trouble for Ogata.
One after another flintlock guns were swung at Ogata's body.
If it were normal, Ogata would naturally not be afraid of these enemies who only used the flintlock in close combat out of sheer desperation.
However...Ogata's physical condition is extremely poor.
Every part of my body aches, my head hurts and swells, there is a "thumbling" sound inside my skull, and my body temperature keeps rising.
Reaction ability, perception, strength, agility...all are greatly reduced.
Even though he had entered the "state of selflessness", facing the flintlock guns swung at him, Ogata was still accidentally hit twice.
One hit was on the left shoulder, the other on the thigh.
Although it did not cause much damage to Ogata, the place where it was hit was very painful.
Ogata was now furious.
The pain in his head became more and more severe, and his head became more and more swollen, making it difficult for Ogata's brain to think.
If you can't think, then don't think.
He swung his knife mechanically, slashing at everyone within sight who was holding a flintlock gun.
Blood splattered on his hair, but he ignored it.
Blood splattered on his cheeks and he ignored it.
Blood splashed into the left eye, and the vision in the left eye became red. He couldn't see anything, but he still ignored it.
If you can't see with your left eye temporarily, use your right eye to see.
There was no time to wipe away the blood covering his left eye.
The flow of two swords without self·flow!
clang!
Ogata used his wakizashi to block a flintlock gun that was aimed at his head, and then slashed into his side with his katana.
Then... the feeling in the hand that made Ogata's pupils shrink involuntarily spread along the knife to Ogata's palm.
According to Ogata's inference, the slash he just made should be a slash that was enough to cut this man in half.
However, his knife did not even hit the man's belly button.
This is not because his current strength is too weak.
But the knife doesn't work anymore.
Whether it's his katana or his side, the blade is now covered with a thick layer of blood and fat.
After cutting too many hard bones, the blade has more and more gaps and becomes pitted.
The blade was too weak to be used again, so Ogata was unable to give the musketeer in front of him a blow that was enough to stop him from moving.
The musketeer vomited blood from his mouth and showed a cruel look in his eyes.
He swung his flintlock gun again and hit Ogata on the head.
Although his eyes showed a cruel look, Ogata's eyes also shone with a fierce light.
Ogata once again used his wakizashi to block the man's flintlock, then pulled out the katana that had been cut into his body, and then swung the katana towards the man again.
Ogata's slash this time was extremely powerful.
Because he used Iga-ryu's forbidden technique - Luck!
Sakakihara's sword flow, water falling, luck!
The blade cut into the left side of the man's neck, and in one breath he cut off the man's head until only a layer of skin was left connected to the body.
[Ding! Use Sakakibara's Ichidou Style·Shui Fall to kill the enemy]
[Acquire 80 personal experience points, 60 experience points for the swordsmanship "Sakakibara Itto-ryu", and 20 experience points for the Iga-style forbidden art "Luck"]
[Current personal level: lv40 (4170/6400)]
[Sakakibara Itto-ryu Level: 14th Dan (1495/14000)]
[Iga-ryu forbidden art level: 2nd stage (360/400)]
Since the knife is blunt and difficult to cut into the human body, just use brute force to drive the blade into the human body!
If possible, Ogata didn't want to use luck.
Using luck would put some strain on his physical strength - this was something Ogata, who was currently in extremely poor physical condition, tried his best to avoid.
But at this time, in this situation where it was either you or me, Ogata could not help but continue to conserve his energy.
Ogata, with a fierce look in his eyes, blood all over his body, and cutting people to pieces every time he used his sword, looked like... really like Shura.
Even the musketeers, who were determined to fight, gradually had a look of fear on their faces.
Finally - after more than half of these musketeers turned into mutilated corpses and fell to the ground, the remaining people finally fled in all directions as their fighting spirit faded.
Ogata did not pursue these remaining soldiers.
He wished that these remnants of soldiers would move away quickly so that he could have enough rest time.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Ogata slowly exited the "selfless state", and then, regardless of the blood and fat still remaining on the blade, he directly took the sword back to Dobashi.
Anyway, I picked up these two knives by myself, so there is nothing to feel bad about.
Ogata wanted to just find a clean place to sit down and have a good rest.
At the very least, the injury on the leg should be treated simply.
At this time, the fabric on Ogata's left thigh was stained red with blood.
Just now, when he was sniped by the ambush arranged by Sakuma on the roof, Ogata had just entered the "state of selflessness".
Thanks to the "selfless state", Ogata leaned his body back in time. Although he escaped the fatal sniper attack, a bullet still accidentally grazed Ogata's thigh.
But luckily among the misfortunes - the bullet did not hit Ogata's thigh, it just grazed and scraped away some skin.
The wound on my thigh was burning and in urgent need of bandage.
However, Ogata did not dare to stay here for even a moment.
If you stay here for a long time, there is no guarantee that more enemies will come and kill you.
Needless to say, there must be something wrong with the red fireworks that the man in black set off just now.
Most likely it was used to report messages.
Used to report Ogata's location...
Ogata planned to move to a safe place first, briefly treat the injury on his leg, and then rush back to the residence where he, Atachi and others lived.
Ogata was not familiar with this area, so he directly "drag" his body towards the place where he felt the most secluded.
Unknowingly, Ogata came to the bank of a canal.
Osaka has a dense water network and canals can be seen everywhere.
The canal in front of Ogata flows slowly from east to west.
The sound of gurgling water, the faint sound of burning objects, and the screams of people reached Ogata's ears...
Ogata turned his head and looked around, and saw many orange fires in the distance, and a large amount of burnt black smoke spewed out from the place where the fires appeared.
"It turns out...it's not just me who was attacked..." Ogata murmured in a deep voice, then changed to a self-deprecating tone, "It reminds me of that long night in Kyoto last summer..."
After teasing himself, Ogata sat down on the ground, then tore open his left hakama and prepared to treat the wound.
However, as soon as he tore open the left half of his hakama, Ogata saw from the corner of his left eye - sitting on a big tree in the distance to his left... was a man in black.
It was the guy who shot off red fireworks into the sky just now.
When Ogata discovered this person, he happened to be taking out a small wooden tube from his arms, and then pointed the mouth of the wooden tube towards the sky...
——It’s never over!
Ogata jumped up and rushed towards the man in black.
But the distance between him and the man in black was more than 20 meters...
This distance is enough for the man in black to set off the fireworks calmly.
laugh--!
There is a bright red flower in the sky again.
After setting off the fireworks, the man in black jumped down from the tree without hesitation, turned around and ran away.
This guy is extremely agile. Ogata, who is currently in extremely poor physical condition, has difficulty catching up with this guy for a while.
Ogata originally wanted to enter the "state of no-self" again.
But after a second thought, I gave up the idea.
"Selfless Realm" consumes a lot of physical energy, so if you can't use it, try not to use it. At this moment when the number and location of enemies are still unclear, and your own physical condition is still quite bad, it is even more important to use it against "selfless realm".
"My realm" should be used with caution.
Ogata has a more convenient way to deal with the fleeing man in black.
Click.
Ogata reached into his arms and took out Kasumi Nagi.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Aim at the back of the man in black and clear out all the bullets in Kasumi Nagi's gun.
Ogata is very conscious of his marksmanship. Without entering the "selfless state", he can only rely on luck to hit a running target about 20 meters away from him.
Therefore, in order to ensure that he could hit the man in black, Ogata did not make any reservations on the bullet.
Of the four bullets that whizzed past, only one hit the man in black's back.
Although I only hit one, it was enough.
The man in black screamed, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.
When he struggled to get up - Shura, covered in blood, had already arrived.
laugh!
Ogata straddled the man in black with the posture of a tiger descending a mountain, then used his side of the body to pierce his throat from top to bottom, and then pulled out suddenly, blood spurting out like a fountain.
The blood spurted out from the wound in his throat and sprayed onto Ogata's face and hair, making Ogata's blood-stained hair that was almost dry in the wind become moist again...
Before returning to the hotel and confirming that Atachi and the others were safe, Ogata did not have the leisure or time to take in the prisoners and glean information from their mouths.
"It's endless..." Ogata said in a tired tone, "Can't you just let me take a break... Well..."
Ogata raised his hands in pain and covered his head.
He felt his head hurt more and became more swollen.
Before, I felt like there were hundreds of bees buzzing inside my skull.
But now, Ogata felt like there were thousands of bees flying inside his head.
My thoughts are fragmented and I cannot calm down to think.
——You have to... quickly treat the wound on your thigh...
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk...
Suddenly... a sound of footsteps approaching Ogata quickly from far away exploded from Ogata's right side.
In such a bad state, Ogata didn't notice the unknown object until it was within 10 meters.
He hurriedly jumped to the side and reached out to hold the handle of the knife - it was already too late.
This unknown object hit Ogata.
He is a strong man about the same height as Ogata.
After the strong man bumped into Ogata, he just hugged Ogata and continued to rush forward.
Rushed straight into the canal ahead.
Ogata fell into the canal together with the strong man.
The cold river water immediately enveloped Ogata's whole body.
But Ogata didn't feel any discomfort from being wrapped in the river water. On the contrary, it made Ogata, whose body temperature was getting higher and higher, feel a little comfortable.
However, Ogata suddenly fell into the water, so he had no time to prepare and couldn't help but choked on his water.
Although Ogata is not that good at swimming, he can still do common swimming movements such as freestyle swimming and snorkeling.
He swam to the river on his hands and knees.
But at this moment, Ogata vaguely saw a thick black shadow under the water, twisting its lower body like a fish, breaking through the current, and swimming quickly towards him.
This flexible swimming posture reminded Ogata of the "mermaid" in his previous life.
However, this dark shadow is not a mermaid.
It was the strong man who knocked Ogata into the water just now!
In addition to the figure of this strong man, Ogata also saw two bright shadows.
It's a knife.
The black shadow's left and right hands each held a wakizashi.
This strong man just held two wakizashi, swam towards Ogata, and stabbed Ogata with the wakizashi in his hand!
There was no free time to go up the river anymore. Ogata quickly drew out his two swords——
Bang...
Under the water, Ogata's sword touched the strong man's sword, making a dull sound.
The attack missed, but the strong man showed no interest in fighting. With a swing of his feet, he broke away from Ogata's eyes and swam to a place where Ogata could not see him.
——We just eliminated the musketeers, and now the "mermaid" comes again?!
Ogata clenched the knife tightly, subconsciously wanting to switch to the "breath of the source", enter the "selfless state", kill this "mermaid" in one go, and return to the shore.
However... just as he was about to inhale, Ogata suddenly realized that he was currently in the water and could not breathe...
Let alone breathing, there wasn't much air left in his lungs...

Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a monthly ticket! qaq
Under the breathless water, how should Ogata counterattack the enemy with excellent water resistance? I wonder if any readers can guess how Ogata can make a comeback~~
